I discovered that rubbing a piece of synthetic wadding on its own just for getting that electric stage, is a wonderful way to keep all those annoying little thread ends out of the carpet. They stay put on the wadding.

After I serged no more or less than 20 metres of fabric strip on both sides ( you make the calculations for yourself ;) ) I started to ruflle it. I had just a little bit more for my hair to curl, also LOL...

and it is obviously , too, that I have only 4 more lines to go ( yupiii! ) ...then starts the second part, meaning taking out the basting lines, the paper, making the sandwich, quilting....well, a lot of work still to go !

and when I'm handsewing in my armchair , my mind is flying at new projects, new ideeas : scarfes, quilts, pouches, pincushions....but I'm so restraint in time that for now I'm just planning....not to say AGAIN : I'm dreaming :))

and as a final note, just because on my "have to do this year" list, among others ( of the same importance or dignity to be mentioned here, but with other occasion because the list is loooong ) well, is testing a large varietes of yummy recipes....well, those pasta with gorgonzola sauce and ruccola are indeed yummyyy...

in the same corner in living , this year we installed an "eco" Christmas tree....same charm, same meanings but moslty we have an easy soul just because we save from death a young tree from somewhere in the woods.

I'm giving - as always - handmade gifts....each of them received this year a placemat in Christmas fabrics, quilted, together with a white porcelain bowl - for morning cereals ( like an invitation for eating more healthy ;) and a decoupaged star or a ball

well, I think that this new quilt should be named ..Greenberries :D....it has 2.0 m x 1.60m and yes it has an humility block ( up in the left corner, due to a simple wrong cut )

este quiltuit free-motion pe vatelina de bumbac Freudenberg iar spatele este din finet alb. Pentru top am folosit toate fat-quarter-urile si alte mici bucati de verde din rezerva de materiale plus 4 m de alb in albcu diverse imprimeuri Faye Burgos for Marcus Fabric, in total cu putin peste 8m material .
It is free-motion quilted on 100% cotton batting made by Freudenberg , and the back is white flannel. For the top I used all the green fat-quarters and leftover scraps I had in stash and 4 metres of white in white ( different prints ) from Faye Burgos for Moda fabrics, totally a little over 8 meters of fabric in top.
